A background character in early ’00s Southern rap (he was in 504 Boyz), Curren$y bounced from the No Limit crew to Cash Money before deciding to self-release his material. His subsequent mixtapes, on which he fixated his smooth-jazz drawl on little other than marijuana-related topics, won him some blog love and new momentum, which brought him back to a major label. Warner Bros. has given him his own imprint, which he calls Jet Life, but the drama continues: He is currently suing Damon Dash for selling his last album,
The Muscle Car Chronicles, without permission. All in the game, all in the game.
